Love Your Neighbor? Or Wish Him Dead?

If you've never read the Jesus' General blog, you're missing out on a Steven Colbert-style approach to conservatism (especially the Religious Right) that is just priceless. Even being conservative, I enjoy the healthy comedic roast these two dish out. Today's post by Gen. J.C. Christian, however, tackles a sorry case of the sort that make me wonder how the General can retain his sense of humor. One Matthew Stucky from the Faithful World Baptist Church is being anything but a loving Christian in expressing his feelings toward homosexuals.

I would be overjoyed if every single queer in the entire world died today. The Bible makes it clear they are reprobates who are past the point of salvation. The Bible also makes it clear they are rapists & very wicked people. They have no chance to get saved and no saved person could ever become a queer. Therefore, I would be overjoyed if they all died tonight & our government would actually follow what the Bible states. The death penalty should be enacted for the queers.

It's another sad example of distortion of the teachings of Jesus, not to mention the sort of religious-based hatred that keeps the world in turmoil.
